Bethany's Brave Swim: Swimming Through Stories

Bethany's Brave Swim

For quiet kids, wobbly days, and those who need a friend.

Bethany doesn't feel like she fits in at school. The playground is loud, the classroom feels big, and being herself sometimes feels too hard.

Then one Monday, something changes.
It's swimming day.
And beneath the surface of the water... she meets Buddy.

He doesn't talk. He doesn't push.

He just floats - kindly, quietly, and always nearby.

Written by experienced swimming teacher Kris Splash, Bethany's Brave Swim is a heart warming chapter book for children aged 5-10 who might feel a little left out, overwhelmed, or uncertain - especially around new experiences like swimming.

Perfect for:

• Children with low confidence or quiet personalities

• Those who need a gentle emotional companion

• Parents and teachers supporting neurodiverse learners

• Kids preparing for their first swimming lessons

This story is gentle, reassuring, and full of emotional insight - showing young readers that bravery doesn't mean being loud or fast...
It means showing up, even when it's hard.

And sometimes, the best kind of friend is the one who simply understands.
